Giant Flies

Here I am flat broke, worn out, dejected
My body aches, y'know I think my foot's infected
Outside alligator's chewing cobra in the swamp
The natives chew the leaf and do the stomp

The fan spins overhead, but it won't stir the air
The natives chew the leaf and live without a care
I come to get rich but instead I lose it all
And giant flies are mating on the wall

"Get me more gin," I scream to the porter
And with a nasty smilе he follows out my order
Why he doеs what I say I will never understand
How come it is my wish is his command?

Get me outta here and let me sober up
Please don't put no more gin into this old tin cup
The weather is too hot and I will surely die
The natives chew the leaf and do not cry

"Get me more gin," I scream to the porter
And with a nasty smile he follows out my order
Why he does what I say I will never understand
How come it is my wish is his command?

Get me outta here, let me sober up
Don't put no more gin into this old tin cup
I come to get rich but instead I lose it all
And giant flies are mating on the wall
On the wall
On the wall
On the wall
On the wall
